Winter truffle season hits Hong Kong hard and fast. Before you know it most French and Italian restaurants are busy shaving these black diamonds all over their wonderful truffle menus.
Not wanting to let the savory chefs have all the fun we created a few things to get in on the action and although I am not 100% supportive of savory ingredients in desserts, I do make an exception for truffles!
One dessert that I go back to every winter to feature these beauties is a version of a tiramisu. Coffee and chocolate are perfect partneres to pair up with the black truffle.
This year we featured our Truffle Honey Tiramisu in our coffee/cake shop Dolce 88. To be honest I was not 100% confident that people could except this version of their beloved classic. Too my pleasant surpise we have had nothing but great feedback. We had planned on featuring for January only but decided to extend untill end of February due to it's popularity.
Each indvidual cake comes with its own "truffle truffle" and a chocolate truffle slice. Order the 1lb cake and it also comes with its very own chocolate truffle shaver!
Purdey, one of our lovely baristas in Dolce also got creative and created a truffle honey latte, amazing!!
As always there is a team involved, thank you Sammy Cocoa and FU Man for elevating the concept and striving for perfection
